Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of REBCO high-temperature superconducting coil performance testing, and more particularly to a low-temperature testing device suitable for REBCO high-temperature superconducting coils. Background Art
[0002] High-temperature superconducting materials mainly include the first generation (bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide BSCCO), the second generation (rare earth barium copper oxide REBCO), magnesium diboride and iron-based superconducting materials.
[0003] The first generation of materials has low performance and high cost, and is not cost-effective for large-scale industrialization; magnesium diboride materials have a low critical temperature and limited applications, and are only produced by a few manufacturers worldwide; iron-based superconducting materials are still in the laboratory stage.
[0004] Second-generation high-temperature superconducting tape, based on REBCO, boasts advantages such as high critical temperature, high current-carrying capacity, high critical field strength, high mechanical strength, and low cost. It is currently the most widely used high-temperature superconducting material with the best overall performance. It has important applications in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), fusion devices (such as ITER), high-field magnets, and power equipment (such as superconducting cables and current limiters).
[0005] High-field magnet winding methods are primarily categorized as layer winding and double-pancake winding. Layer winding involves stacking the ribbon layer by layer from the inside out, completing the winding process continuously, requiring longer ribbon. The double-pancake winding method, on the other hand, involves winding the ribbon from the center upward and downward in a spiral, first around the upper coil and then around the lower coil, completing a double-pancake coil. These double-pancake coils are stacked one by one to form a high-temperature superconducting magnet. Typically, a single double-pancake coil requires significantly less ribbon than a layer winding method. However, with current ribbon production processes, producing longer ribbons remains a challenge, making double-pancake coils more suitable for current magnet manufacturing.
[0006] However, before superconducting coils can be assembled into high-field magnets, they must undergo rigorous cryogenic performance testing to ensure their critical current (Ic), quench characteristics, and mechanical stability meet requirements. Traditional cryogenic testing methods typically rely on liquid nitrogen (77K), which cannot guarantee the safe testing of the coils' superconducting properties at these low temperatures.
[0007] Therefore, how to provide a low-temperature testing device suitable for REBCO high-temperature superconducting coils to ensure that the superconducting performance of the coils can be safely tested under low-temperature conditions is an urgent problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In view of this, the present invention provides a low-temperature testing device suitable for REBCO high-temperature superconducting coils, aiming to solve one of the problems in the above-mentioned background technology and ensure that the superconducting performance of the coils can be safely tested under low-temperature conditions.
